Transcript | shley Mulkey, an athlete of many talents, combines a toe touch with her L powerful spike. Photo by Manuel Esparza Success, How Sweet It Is Mulkey ends brillant career Her high school stats said it all- Ashley Mulkey was a force to be reckoned with in every area of competition. While attending Tascosa High School in Ama- rillo Mulkey lettered twice in volleyball, basketball once, and track three times. She was named the Texas player of the Year by the Texas High School Girls Coaches Association. For two years she was a member of National Honor Society and maintained an A average for all four years of high school. Also, she was a two-time state high jump champion. Mulkey came to Houston after considering such schools as Texas Tech and Texas A&M. "I chose UH because the girls were more my type of group. I fit in," Mulkey said. Success did not fall short of high school. As a freshman at UH, Mulkey set the school record for a season hitting percentage (.405) in Southwest Conference play. She helped Houston win the NIVC Post-season title and led the team in blocks establishing a tournament record with 36. During the 1991 season she appeared in more games (116) than any other Cougar, and her hitting percentage (.305) was the second highest of any SWC player. She led the team in SWC digs with 111 as a junior. Against all SWC foes Mulkey's career hitting percentage was an impressive .293. This season was somewhat difficult for the team, but Mulkey had confidence in them and knew they'd get it together game by game. The team came off a rough first half to finish the season in third place. Mulkey was second on the team in number of kills (450) and digs (350) for the season. Now that the season is over she can look back and bask in all her hard work. Her number of career kills is an amazing 1,139, total assists 2,752, and total digs 1,134. Student-athletes have another challenge to face- school. They must learn to balance their tedious schedule with that of their schoolwork. "It was not hard for me, but sometimes I did miss a lot of class. I take my grades seriously. All in all it balanced out."-Michelle Morgan 1993-1994 Coog Competitors Returning Starters Ashley Mulkey and Lilly Denoon Returning Players Stacey Craven and Natasha Woods Newcomers Joellen Kliafas, Wendy Munzel, Keri Brindle, Carla Maul, Beth St. Ana, Emily Leffers, Sami Sawyer, Nashika Stokes Coaches Head Coach: Bill Walton Assistant Coach: Patsy McClymont \ Volleyball gjj)293 |
